How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 47 = 34.31
- Check: Work backwards: 34.31 ÷ 47 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/47, so part = 73 × 47 ÷ 100 = 34.31. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*47. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 47 by 73% gives 81.31 and decreasing it by 73% gives 12.69. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 21.9537, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
